There’s always a section of life that would be different if, only . . .

Here’s the thing . . . the if, only . . . rests on you and I. This HUGE revelation took a long time for me to understand and ACCEPT. Even now, it would be much easier to blame God or someone else for the hard of it all. BUT–this is a BIG BUT–blame is not the point of our story.

The point is that you and I have the ultimate responsibility in the outcome of every page and chapter of our story. Of course, much of life is out of our control, however; the outcome of it all rests on the response rather than the circumstance.

A strong response–one that says I will overcome this–begins with ruthless trust in God and one another. This requires the discipline of thinking in terms of “I will” rather than “You should.”

Yep.

I am right there with you. Because. There’s a lot of people who should.

Yet. The story relies on my response. So. I will.

I had a great summer day with these two cuties–the squirt guns were used to cool themselves down– and to water plants.

I will be joining a crew talking about the bigger picture of the solar eclipse and so much more on August 20 at 10:30 am. Because . . . RED DOOR CHURCH (RDC) is meeting online rather than on campus for this one day . . . RDC ECLIPSED DAY. Invite your friends to hop on wherever they are at 10:30 am pacific standard time.
